Analysts say photos show new buildings and other signs of work at North Korea’s nuclear testing facility in what they call a sign that the country could be planning to resume testing atomic bombs after having claimed to have destroyed the site in 2018.
The exhibition — the extent of the destruction was not clear to experts — came a month after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un announced an end to nuclear explosives testing and tests of intermediate-range and intercontinental ballistic. It was part of a diplomatic initiative between Kim and the Trump administration that later fell apart.
Lewis said, “We have been monitoring the Punggye-ri nuclear test site closely for signs that North Korea was beginning to repair the site.” “However, this is the first activity we have seen at the site since North Korea dismantled it in May 2018.”
